Aviation Accident Attorney Houston

What to Do When Aviation Accidents Occur

Aviation and plane accidents are rare. And air travel is statistically much safer than automotive travel. The odds of being injured or dying in an airplane accident in the U.S. are minuscule. Unfortunately, when aviation accidents do occur, they cause devastating, often fatal consequences.

Aviation accidents can occur in a private plane, helicopters, private jets, and certain modes of transportation to job sites and oil rigs. Assigning fault in an aviation accident is a highly complex task. It can take years of litigation to collect compensation.

Because aviation lawsuits involve multiple complicated legal and factual challenges, hiring a Houston aviation accident lawyer skilled in establishing fault, proving causation and negligence, and applying the proper laws is essential to a successful resolution.

What Happens After an Aviation Accident

Knowing what to do if you or a loved one were injured or killed in an aviation accident can be a monumental hurdle. Immediately afterward, please make sure everyone receives a medical assessment. Even if the accident seemed minor, seeking medical attention will ensure your health and document any injuries.

Next, consult an aviation accident attorney as soon as possible. Each state has a deadline for filing an injury or wrongful death lawsuit called the statute of limitations, and after this period has passed, you may be barred from recovering payment for your injuries.

Once we meet, we can answer all your pressing questions, such as:

• What caused my accident?
• Who is responsible for my accident?
• Whom should I sue?
• Where do I sue?
• Does the airline’s home county affect my case?
• What do I do if my aviation accident injuries are disabling?
• Which surviving family members can sue when an immediate family member or other relative dies in an aviation accident?

Aviation accidents are significantly more complex than other personal injury cases. Evidence can be obscured by the damage of the accident’s impact, and multiple parties can be at fault. These are just a few reasons you need an attorney who can weave difficult facts and evidence into a compelling narrative.

We Will Fight for You

Once we take your case, we can also:

• Investigate your claim—We will investigate everything from weather conditions and actions the pilot and cabin crew took to other important details. If your claim involves a mix of state injury laws and federal safety statutes, we will work with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and make sure we have obtained their reports.
• Gather and preserve evidence—We will gather pictures of the plane or runway, emails from the airline or the airline’s insurance carrier, medical records, mechanical records, and photos of your injuries. We will also contact witnesses and fellow victims, preserve black box recordings, and hire experts such as pilots or air traffic controllers to testify.
• Determine liability—We will determine who caused the accident and who is liable for your damages. Responsible parties may include the aircraft’s owner or operator, pilots and cabin crew, air traffic controllers, maintenance crews, plane manufacturers, parts manufacturers, etct.
• Calculate damages—Taking numerous factors into account, we will determine an amount that will fully compensate you for losses like medical and hospital bills, rehabilitation and physical therapy, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, mental anguish, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), loss of consortium, funeral costs, and punitive damages.
• Obtain fair compensation—We will advise you and protect your right to compensation every step from case inception to trial if need be while holding the negligent party accountable to prevent similar accidents in the future.

At Armstrong Lee & Baker, our proven track record speaks magnitudes. We know aviation law and understand what it takes to be successful. Choosing the right aviation attorney matters, and we promise to take your trust in us to heart.

I couldn’t have asked for better representation. From day one, they took great care of me—not just as a client, but as a person. Throughout the entire injury case from my car accident, they kept me informed, made sure I felt supported, and handled every step with professionalism and confidence. At the end of the day, they got the job done. Grateful to have had them in my corner. Highly recommend.

I cannot recommend Kelly Viktorin at Armstrong Lee & Baker highly enough. After being injured at work, I was incredibly discouraged as many attorneys wouldn’t take my case due to the complexities involved. From our very first consultation, Kelly and her team jumped right in, demonstrating a level of dedication and expertise that immediately put me at ease. Throughout the entire process, their communication was outstanding. I was consistently kept informed of any updates and felt like a priority. Kelly truly went above and beyond to fight for me, and I am so grateful for her hard work and commitment. If you’re facing a challenging work injury case, especially with a Texas non-subscriber, don’t hesitate to reach out to Kelly Viktorin. You’ll be in excellent hands.

When I got injured my company didn’t have workers comp. They had something called non subscriber insurance.
I tried a dozen or more lawyers and no one would take my case.
I lost my house in Texas so right as I was moving back to where I was from, Florida, o call Armstrong and Lee. They said they could take my case. Shortly after I meet Adam Grable.
Adam took the case and unraveled it like a champ. It was a difficult case and that’s why other lawyers didn’t take.
Over the next year, Adam because a friend and a member of the family.
I found him brilliant and personable and when needed he found for me.
In the end, we took a settlement even though Adam told me he had a good shot at trial. He understood i wanted this behind me!
If you ever find yourself needed a lawyer trust me Adam Grable will be on your side!
